Hello everyone! In an effort to put a face on the club while promoting ham radio and emergency preparedness, we will have a booth at the Newport Farmer's Market on Saturday, April 8th and Saturday, May 27th. The market runs from 9am-1pm. Setup should begin no later than 8am. which will include an "Easy Up" canopy, a portable table, chairs and of course comm gear.

Jenny Demaris and Daron Wilson are supplying most of the resources through the LCSO and ACS.

We will need volunteers to help in the booth, including set up and teardown. Please contact John Moore, KN4RTK at john.kn4rtk at gmail.com if you are interested in helping.

Access Google Docs with a personal Google account or Google Workspace account (for business use).
